10 day travel plan to NZ

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on a 10-day holiday in NZ to cover both South and North Island. I know it's very stringent... Could you guys run your eyes over the below schedule? Please let me know if there's anything to be added / cut off.

I'm looking to spend 7 days in south and 3 days in north.

  • Day 1: Arrive Christchurch, explore, stay @ Christchurch
  • Day 2: Drive to Lake Tekapo, stay @ Lake Tekapo
  • Day 3: Drive - stop at Mt Cook, Lake Wanaka, stay @ Wanaka
  • Day 4: Drive to Queenstown, stay @ Queenstown
  • Day 5: Day trip to Milford Sound, stay @ Queenstown
  • Day 6: Drive to Te Anau, explore, drive back to Queenstown, stay @ Queenstown
  • Day 7: Explore Queenstown, fly to Auckland (pm). Arrive Auckland, explore, stay @ Auckland
  • Day 8: Drive from Auckland to Roturua, explore, then drive to Lake Taupo
  • Day 9:
  • Day10: Fly back to Sydney
I haven't fully planned for North, but would appreciate if you could look at the existing first! Many thanks.
